Abstract :
In this paper, new image processing tools are presented for conversion thermal and visual images, mainly for application in medicine and biology. A novel method for area and distance evaluation based on statistical differencing is discussed. In order to increase the measurements accuracy, the interpolation and subpixel bitmap processing are chosen.
